Go Beyond the Avocado Roll and Reimagine Japanese Cuisine With Amazing Vegan Recipes

To the novice cook, recreating Japanese food from a restaurant can seem a bit intimidating. Sushi rolls are intricate multilayered masterpieces, noodles are perfectly steamed and shaped, and the dishes are bursting with delicious umami flavor. Going to a Japanese restaurant is such an aesthetically-driven experience, it’s practically like going to an art exhibition! Well, what if we told you that not only is it totally possible to recreate Japanese food, but it’s possible to do it without the use of meat or fish! The Food Monster app has loads of Japanese recipes that successfully capture the essence of this tasty Asian cuisine, no fish required! It’s actually pretty simple. To begin, many of the dishes in Japanese cuisine are veggie-centric by nature or just end up being coincidentally vegan-friendly, like miso soup, rice, and vegetable dumplings.

But don’t worry, with the Food Monster app (which you can download here), you don’t have to stick to the sides! With a huge range of both appetizers and mains, Food Monster allows you to experience Japanese cuisine in its entirety! Seared Tamari Maple Tofu, Miso Ramen With Tellicherry Pepper Tofu, and Teriyaki Bowls, are just a few of the dishes you can make. And what’s great is the main focus is not the protein source but the flavor. Since Japanese cuisine focuses so closely on the sauces of the dish, that’s all that needs to transfer from the traditional to the vegan version for it to taste authentic. And you can most certainly recreate popular seaweed and fish-based sauces and broths, like dashi, without ever touching a fish!

Luckily, eating Japanese cuisine doesn’t always have to be a strenuous process of replacement. For example, Shojin Ryori, a Japanese Buddhist cuisine that originated from Zen temples, just happens to be vegan by default. The well-balanced meals in this cuisine do not use any meat, eggs, dairy, or fish products. And of course, what Japanese cuisine would be complete without sushi? The Food Monster app will broaden your sushi horizons far past the typical sweet potato and avocado rolls found in restaurants. While sweet potato and avocado are some solid options, on Food Monster you will find exciting fish-replacing fillings like mushrooms, tempeh, squash, beets, and zucchini. There’s the Sriracha-Miso Glazed Roll with carrot and tofu, the Teriyaki Tofu Roll, and the Raw Shiitake Mushroom Roll. Where else are you going to find Buckwheat Sushi With BeetRoot Juice, Tempeh, and Avocado? Doesn’t get more unique than that!

Speaking of unique, you don’t have to necessarily go for traditional dishes when you’re craving Japanese cuisine. Maybe you’re craving a burger or a burrito, instead. Well, no need to compromise! You can have both! Enjoy a Sweet Potato Sushi Burrito, an Edamame Burger with Wasabi Aioli or even a Buffalo Peanut Sushi Roll if you’re feeling funky. Best of both worlds!

So, don’t settle for the same dishes over and over again simply cause you’re looking to avoid fish, and experience Japanese food in a whole new way.
